You can have a simple LVS setup running with a plugin from Nagios, check_mysql, which will connect to the mysql daemon and run a status query. If you want anything more than that you most likely will have to write a custom check plugin (shouldn't be that hard). LVS works nicely as a mysql loadbalancer in my experience.
